Sharp & Co Kowloon Point

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1890

The building is identified as belonging to Messers Sharp & Co in an engraving recently sold at auction. There is an interesting flag on its roof, possibly a Danish or Duchy of Savoy flag? There also is a smaller version of the main flag in the lower left quadrant, does anyone know what this means?

Date for the engraving is given as 1890 but I believe that is an estimate only.

1890s Midlevels view

I think this photo was taken from McDonnell Road showing Union Church (3rd gen.). A number of houses in viewer's direction are under construction.

Any further identification of houses is welcome.
